Seems ridiculously insecure for those to be accepted. Given just one signed document, a fraudster could copy and paste your signature into literally any number of other documents.
- mr_toad 5y agoThe whole industry is a farce. Nobody will do anything until after someone abuses it in a high profile case.
- bubblethink 5y agoWell, there are actual signatures too, but that's just like the CA racket for ssl. Adobe and others just gatekeep it. And any type of key material is quite complex to manage, so it would never get widespread adoption even if it were free.
- supertrope 5y agoI agree but wet ink signatures can be forged too. Signatures alone do not make a transaction non-repudiable. High value deals are also secured by public notaries, agents, government clerks, and even attorneys.
- icedchai 5y agoThey can do that anyway. They could simply scan your signature, scan the document, and copy-paste your signature onto it before printing it out. With printers being so high resolution, odds are nobody would notice the difference (if they were even paying attention enough in the first place.)
